[Injection Molding] Packing stage taking longer time to converge and result size is huge

Hi expert,

I'm using Inspire Mold for an FPCW simulation.

I found that the packing and cooling result size is very large.

This comes from the number of saved intervals in the result.

For example, the cooling result saved more than 3700 time steps >> huge number and not necessary

Is there any option to reduce this number?

It also takes a very long time to play the animation in this case.

Thank you!

    Hello @Junta ,

    3700 time steps are too many and it should not happen. Typically the packing should take a similar time as filling analysis or smaller. Reading at you mentioned, it looks like the model you were running is not converging and it is taking a long time to converge hence you are having the issues.

    Will you be able to share the model you are running and let us know the process conditions? We will be glad to assist you with this model and find the root cause.

    Thanks and regards,

    Hi Narendra,

    I will send the model to you via email.
